Lafayette defeats Army 77-68

Mintz, who missed the final 10 minutes of Lafayette's loss to
Lehigh on Jan 23 after receiving 12 stitches to close a cut to
his face, was 10-for-10 from the line to help the Leopards
(14-7, 5-1 Patriot League) win for the seventh time in eight
games.

Lafayette controlled the second half, but Army (12-8, 2-4) cut
the Leopards' lead to 56-51 on Cleveland Richard's layup with
7:27 to play.

Lafayette quickly pushed the lead to 60-51 and took a 65-54
advantage on Jim Mower's 3-pointer with 5:22 remaining.

Ryan Willen scored 17 points and Mower finished with 15 for
Lafayette, which went 26-for-31 from the free throw line (83.9
percent). The Leopards also shot 55 percent from the field
(11-for-20) in the second half.
